The evolutionary developmental complexities involved with the brain are so mind-bogglingly befuddling I don't' believe coming close is an option. The evolutionary experience is so interwoven with human consciousness, so much is taken for granted when describing it. Though perhaps since there is so much written experience with human consciousness that it could be reconstructed in a machine consciousness, maybe, still though all that lossy compression in all that text :) There would have to be a lot of averaging going on. And machine reconstructed brain quantum dynamical systems emergences, ya, is a mimic doable or should we say - nope let's grow the AGI with its own thing going on. Humans are unique and every human individual is unique and from their own standpoint a universal destructive uniqueness as when individual death occurs all else is taken with it. I wonder though if consciousness is a universal, IOW is an animal consciousness somehow equivalent to ours or an alien or machine. Is consciousness a common system that emerges from disparate substrates, is it a similar thing that evolution strives to create. Is there the optimal consciousness that can be achieved, like will we eventually evolve our consciousnesses into God :) Does it ever reach a steady state. Is it a specific complex systems dynamic based on electro-chemical/quantum interactive structure... or is it host independent only inter dynamically dependant ....
